古巴外长布鲁诺·罗德里格斯在联合国大会发言期间，谴责美国针对古巴实施的石油封锁，称这是旨在引发人道主义危机的“集体惩罚行为”。
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has condemned the United States’s oil blockade against his country during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), calling it an “act of collective punishment” intended to trigger a humanitarian crisis.
在华盛顿与哈瓦那紧张关系持续之际，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周六预计两国将达成协议，同时表示他不认为有必要采取军事行动。
His comments on Saturday come as tensions between Washington and Havana remain high and as US President Donald Trump predicted that the two countries would reach an agreement, while saying he did not believe military action would be necessary.
“我认为，古巴与我们将达成协议，”特朗普周六在白宫对记者说，“我认为我们不需要动用军队。古巴的状况非常糟糕。我们希望帮助古巴。”罗德里格斯在联合国大会发言中表示，哈瓦那仍愿意进行谈判。
“I would say that Cuba and us will make a deal,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Saturday. “I don’t think we’ll need the military. Cuba is failing very badly. We want to help Cuba.” In his UNGA speech, Rodriguez said Havana remained open to negotiations.
“我们过去一直准备、也将永远准备与美国政府进行对话，以努力解决我们之间存在的各种双边分歧，”他说，并补充称，谈判必须以“主权平等”为基础，并且“不附带任何先决条件”。
“We have always been and will always be prepared for dialogue with the government of the United States in order to try to find solutions to the various bilateral differences that we have,” he said, adding that talks would have to be based on “sovereign equality” and take place “without preconditions”.
罗德里格斯还谈到了美国采取军事行动的可能性，称这将造成巨大破坏。“希望这种事永远不会发生，”他说。
Rodriguez also addressed the possibility of US military action, saying it would cause huge destruction.
本周早些时候，特朗普在联合国发表讲话时，称古巴是一个“彻底失败的国家”，并表示“这个岛国将迎来自由”。古巴代表团在讲话期间离场。
“Let’s hope that this never happens,” he said. Earlier this week, Trump called Cuba an “absolutely failed state” during his own UN address and said “freedom will be coming” to the island. Cuba’s delegation walked out during the speech.
美国对古巴实施经济禁运已有60多年。特朗普政府此前曾表示，希望古巴政府发生变化。自今年早些时候以来，美国还额外实施石油封锁，使古巴承受巨大压力，面临燃料短缺和持续停电等问题。古巴官员还指责该封锁导致食品供应困难，民众的其他基本需求也难以得到保障。
The US has maintained an economic embargo on Cuba for more than 60 years. The Trump administration has previously said that it wants a change in Cuba’s government. Since earlier this year, the US has additionally imposed an oil blockade that has put the country under severe pressure, dealing with fuel shortages and ongoing blackouts. Cuban officials have also blamed it on problems providing food and other basic needs for its population.
这些措施受到巴西、墨西哥和巴基斯坦等国家的批评。这些国家呼吁结束禁运和新的石油封锁，并反对对古巴实施单方面的经济限制。
The measures have drawn criticism from countries including Brazil, Mexico and Pakistan, which have called for an end to the embargo and new oil blockade and opposed unilateral economic restrictions on Cuba.
自1992年以来，联合国大会每年都以压倒性多数通过决议，呼吁结束美国对古巴实施的经济、商业和金融禁运。
Since 1992, the UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly backed an annual resolution calling for an end to the US economic, commercial and financial embargo on Cuba.
